English(English)

Korean American author Chang-rae Lee has played with a rich gamut of forms and characters to probe themes of East vs. West and consumerism run amok, most recently in his dystopian "On Such a Full Sea" (2014). His rangy, propulsive new novel, "My Year Abroad," expands on these preoccupations by embracing dark comedy in the manner of Gary Shteyngart and George Saunders.
